I found it awkward at first on the balls of my feet but I kept at it because I kept scraping my toes. I also found it uncomfortable being on the balls of my feet all the time and found that my legs were getting sore. Now I only go on to the balls of my feet on twisty roads or sharp turns. If you keep at it the gear changes will feel more natural. I wouldn't bother doing it on motorways
